How to spend Christmas in London

It probably helped that of Europe's biggest cities, London pulled in by far the most tourists with 19.06million in 2016, 3.6million more than Paris, which came second.

Regent Street, which bisects Oxford Street, also raked in a healthy 9,252 pedestrians an hour, making it the ninth busiest street in Europe.

Although it did not rank in the top 30, Old Bond Street managed 5,564 pedestrians an hour but also pulled in the highest retail rents at €1,781 per square metre per month, due to its attractive Mayfair location.

The going rate in Oxford Street is €1,119 and €916 on Regent Street.
